AGM Trading Statement
At the Annual General Meeting, held today, the Chairman Peter Lewis gave the
following update to shareholders:
"In the 21 weeks to 28 June 2003 overall sales are up by 4.1% with like for like
sales down 2.9%. This compares to last year's equivalent period increase in like
for like sales of 34%. However, any comparison is distorted due to the fact that
this period last year represented the strongest period of trading within the
year, benefiting from the launch of the Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube.
We have continued to trade ahead of our expectations for this period and are
pleased with the progress we have made, as we continue to see improvements in
market share."
